Little clarification on how it all works in the future and stuff by Tim Buckley (artist of Ctrl-Alt-Del, awesome guy)

irst of all, in the events as they originally ran their course, Future Hiro tried to stab Sylar but it had no effect because Sylar had killed Claire at the homecoming and taken her power. So Future Hiro said screw that, went back in time and told Peter to save the cheerleader. He went back to his own time expecting things to be right as rain, except now the only thing that's different is that Claire is alive and in hiding (which is why she's now alive for Sylar to take her power when we saw it five years in the future), but Sylar is still alive. Fortunately for Future Hiro, Present Hiro shows up on his doorstep. So Future Hiro sends Present Hiro back with the second part of the mission. Now that Claire is saved, Present Hiro needs to kill Sylar. Presumably before he assumes Nathan's identity and they lose track of who Sylar really is (just a guess on my part there).

So there aren't "multiple time lines". There is a single time line, changes in the now cause changes in the future. They changed the future by saving Claire, but not enough to stop the bomb. That's why Hiro and Ando were confused that New York was still devastated, and went to Isaac to find out what happened in the days leading up to the election that they did wrong. So they could go back and fix it.

As far as Peter's scar, I have received word that it is not in fact a mistake, and that it's just something that hasn't been explained to us yet. Peter does have regeneration, and yet he still gets the scar, and we'll find out how/why later on in the series. So that takes care of that question.

(I'm not just hypothesizing here. This stuff is paraphrased from a Q&A with some of the show's writers/producers.)

Wow... that was one of the most dissapointing season finales ever. I thought that when the director of a show run by Marvel said there would be a fight.... that there would be a fight, not a few punches and a stab. Nothing really happened at all. Nathan died. That's pretty much it.

Also, with the whole "Save the Cheerleader, save the world thing", the only instance where she was needed was when Peter almost died with the glass in his head. So... maybe she was needed so that Peter would survive his fall to save the world again?

All the stories about Kensei are going to be tasks for Hiro. He'll either do them or convince Kensei to. Nathan will be walking around with an evil Nathan creepyguy haunting him, as we saw when he looked in the mirror.

Hopefully there will be less omgdrama at Claire's school. I'm watching Heroes, not the OC...

I just started watching the dvd's from season one. I have to admit I'm getting hooked, and thoruoghly confused at the same time. Just watched the "six months ago episode"-very interesting, but didn't clear up much. Should I be this confused? I'm kinda slow! And yes, I'm sick of "Save the Cheerleader",Save the World" tagline already!!!! I saw some of this weeks episode-was that week two or three? I personally don't care for Nathan or Peter, Hiro and Nikki/Rebecca are the most interesting fer sure!

******SPOILERS******You're right-Company Man ROCKED!!!!!!, and so did the next episode-"Parasite". Probably the two best so far! I'm up to discs 6 & 7-Am I gonna be disappointed with the whole Exploding Man ending? And what's with Ted? I forget the specifics about him-he just showed back up! Were him and his wife the first experiments or something?Did I dose off during that episode?
